Many-worlds interpretation
The many-worlds interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that asserts the objective reality of the universal wavefunction and denies the actuality of wavefunction collapse. Many-worlds implies that all possible alternate histories an... more

Montevideo Interpretation
This new interpretation of quantum mechanics solves the problems of the use of environmental decoherence as a solution to the problem of measurement in quantum mechanics. It does so invoking fundamental limitations in the process of measurement in q... more

Consistent histories interpretation
In quantum mechanics, the consistent histories approach is intended to give a modern interpretation of quantum mechanics, generalising the conventional Copenhagen interpretation and providing a natural interpretation of quantum cosmology. This inter... more

De Broglie–Bohm theory
The de Broglie–Bohm theory, also known as the pilot-wave theory, Bohmian mechanics, the Bohm or Bohm's interpretation, and the causal interpretation, is an interpretation of quantum theory. In addition to a wavefunction on the space of all possible ... more

Relational quantum mechanics
Relational quantum mechanics is an interpretation of quantum mechanics which treats the state of a quantum system as being observer-dependent, that is, the state is the relation between the observer and the system. This interpretation was first deli... more

Transactional interpretation
The transactional interpretation of quantum mechanics describes quantum interactions in terms of a standing wave formed by both retarded waves, in addition to advanced waves. It was first proposed in 1986 by John G. Cramer, who argues that it helps... more

Stochastic interpretation
The stochastic interpretation is an interpretation of quantum mechanics.The modern application of stochastics to quantum mechanics involves the assumption of spacetime stochasticity, the idea that the small-scale structure of spacetime is undergoing... more

Objective collapse theory
Objective collapse theories, also known as quantum mechanical spontaneous localization models, are an approach to the interpretational problems of quantum mechanics. They are realistic, indeterministic and reject hidden variables. The approach is si... more

Von Neumann–Wigner interpretation
The von Neumann–Wigner interpretation, also described as "consciousness causes collapse [of the wave function]", is an interpretation of quantum mechanics in which consciousness is postulated to be necessary for the completion of the process of quan... more

Many-minds interpretation
The many-minds interpretation of quantum mechanics extends the many-worlds interpretation by proposing that the distinction between worlds should be made at the level of the mind of an individual observer. The concept was first introduced in 1970 by... more

Quantum logic
In quantum mechanics, quantum logic is a set of rules for reasoning about propositions that takes the principles of quantum theory into account. This research area and its name originated in the 1936 paper by Garrett Birkhoff and John von Neumann, w... more

Quantum informational approaches
In physics and computer science, quantum information is physical information that is held in the state of a quantum system. Quantum information is the basic entity that is studied in the burgeoning field of quantum information theory, and manipulate... more

Time-symmetric theories
Several theories have been proposed which modify the equations of quantum mechanics to be symmetric with respect to time reversal. (E.G. See Wheeler-Feynman time-symmetric theory). This creates retrocausality: events in the future can affect ones in... more

Branching space–time theories
BST theories resemble the many worlds interpretation; however, "the main difference is that the BST interpretation takes the branching of history to be a feature of the topology of the set of events with their causal relationships... Rather than a c... more

Instrumentalist interpretation
An Instrumentalist interpretation is a description of quantum experiments.This article aims at proposing a non-interpretative description of some key quantum experiments, based as far as possible on genuine facts, although there is no criterion for ... more

Calogero conjecture
The Calogero conjecture is a minority interpretation of quantum mechanics. It is a quantization explanation involving quantum mechanics, originally stipulated in 1997 and further republished in 2004 by Francesco Calogero that suggests the classical ... more

Landé Interpretation
In late 1929 Landé was invited to Ohio State University in Columbus, to present a series of lectures. After a second stay (1930-1931) in Columbus, Ohio, he decided to establish himself in the United States. Landé was a forerunner in a phase of new i... more

Two-state vector formalism
The two-state vector formalism is a description of quantum mechanics in terms of a causal relation in which the present is caused by quantum states of the past and of the future taken in combination.

Pondicherry Interpretation
This interpretation proceeds from the recognition that the fundamental theoretical framework of physics is a probability algorithm, which serves to describe an objective fuzziness (the literal meaning of Heisenberg’s term ‘Unsch¨arfe’, usually mistr... more

London (Ticker Tape) Interpretation
In recent years there has been a move away from the Copenhagen Interpretation towards alternative interpretations of Quantum Mechanics. There has also been an acknowledgement that there is no definitive version of the Copenhagen Interpretation becau... more

Quantum Bayesianism
Quantum Bayesianism most often refers to a "subjective Bayesian account of quantum probability", that has evolved primarily from the work of Carlton M. Caves, Christopher Fuchs and Rüdiger Schack, and draws from the fields of quantum information and... more

Synchronized Chaos Interpretation
Synchronization of chaos refers to a process wherein two (or many) chaotic systems (either equivalent or nonequivalent) adjust a given property of their motion to a common behavior due to a coupling or to a forcing (periodical or noisy). We review m... more

Cosmological interpretation of quantum mechanics
The cosmological interpretation of quantum mechanics, proposed by Anthony Aguirre and Max Tegmark, is an interpretation of quantum mechanics that applies in the context of eternal cosmological inflation, which arguably predicts an infinite three-dim... more

Popper's interpretation
Popper's experiment is an experiment proposed by the philosopher Karl Popper. As early as 1934 he was suspicious of, and was proposing experiments to test, the Copenhagen interpretation, a popular subjectivist interpretation of quantum mechanics. Po... more

Copenhagen interpretation
The Copenhagen interpretation is a collection of axioms or doctrines that interpret the mathematical formalism of quantum mechanics, largely devised in the years 1925–1927 by Niels Bohr and Werner Heisenberg. It is fundamental to the Copenhagen inte... more
